PHILOSOPHY OF LAW: THOMAS AQUINAS ON CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

Описание к видео PHILOSOPHY OF LAW: THOMAS AQUINAS ON CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

Aquinas’s view of crime and punishment is inseparable from his broader moral and political philosophy. Crime disturbs the rightful order of things—a stable equilibrium aligned with natural law and oriented toward the common good. Punishment, in turn, is a rational and morally grounded response that reaffirms justice, deters wrongdoing, and can potentially encourage moral improvement in the offender. While he permits a range of penalties, including the ultimate sanction of death, Aquinas demands that punishment be administered by legitimate authorities and be tempered by reason, justice, and moral propriety.
